​  
An expanded field for the 2026 World Cup has resulted in more matches, more action and more drama.
And we’re just getting started.
The top teams have already emerged from several of the initial groups, setting the stage for the knockout round to begin on Sunday, June 28.

The action gets more furious − and more desperate − as the remaining teams on the bubble look to get one of the coveted spots remaining in the round of 32 over the next few days.
Here’s how the group standings look at the moment, and how the upcoming schedule shakes out.
